Confirmed Darrell Jackson hits the portal

Agree. Recruiting this off-season and what we do on the field next Fall is critical for Mario. If both go south ... he might need every one of his remaining contract years to recover.

So if this one off-season doesn't pan out perfectly (Whatever perfect means) it's gonna take the remaining 9 years of his contract to recover????

AGAIN FSU is desperate for plug in play DT's. They lose both starters, and haven't recruited well at the position.

Mikey is using his former coach to leverage this, and I in no way think this is homesickness.

He’s from Gadsden County which is the complete opposite of anything Miami. And his old coach (Corey Fuller) works in the recruiting office.

 

[Jaxcane4]

I meant where are you seeing he might want to be closer to home?

I don't pay for 247 but the OP said David Lake said it.

Why didn't he go there last year then?

Michael or Latoya?

Morris or Pierre?

They give these waivers out like candy

He's a future NFL player - I don't care who is going to commit, it's a big loss.

this. kid has proven he can play on this level and has potential to be in the league. HS players have proven nothing and high school film is meaningless. they can easily bust out the moment they step foot on campus

we had a better NIL deal if i were to guess. i know UF thought they had him

 

[AUcane]

Who said it's going to be a true freshman to replace him???

Correct. Besides, it is VERY rare for a true freshman DT to play starter minutes.

 

[hollyhood27]

Why didn't he go there last year then?

FSU didn’t have room for him. They thought what they had was better )including the former teammate).

If he doesn't want to be at UM....then get to steppin....

 

[UnitedCanedom]

FSU losing both DT starters. His HS coach and best friend are both at FSU. Definitely a rumor that makes sense plus with all the cryptic stuff he been posting on IG.

Could all just be a ploy to get a bigger NIL deal from Ruiz too

 

[hollyhood27]

Last week on the Twitter space @DMoney said he hadn’t heard anything about that rumor at that time, but a lot can change in a week, so who knows.

End of the day this is the truth.. if a player is ready to leave, you can't force them to stay..you can try and recruit them/convince them but end of the day you can't keep a player at your school who doesn't want to be there.

Well, you're headed that way if recruiting is a net negative a

Well, you'd be heading that way. If recruiting is marked by losses of top targets and decommits. If Gattis stays and we have a repeat performance on the field, all the talk that Mario needs to be allowed to work his magic over a "3 year plan", well that stretches to a 5 year plan, and so on.

Man, was hoping for Hicks... Any more hints?
